Steps to Success: Self Publishing Your book
After gaining her B.A. degree in journalism in the year of the oil bust and 21% unemployment, Byrd scrapped what some people called a living (she called it working starvation) employed as a reporter for a bunch of newspapers you never heard of in rinky-dink small towns. After moving several times, and working as a museum director, horseback riding instructor, and kid’s party planner, she decided enough was enough. Now she is a self-published author of fantasy books and short stories. See her website https://byrdnash.com
